Eric Tucker '12 Recruiting Profile

I consider myself a student first and an athlete second. I've always gotten good grades and my strengths are in math and science. I like helping people and am interested in the medical field and perhaps teaching. I really enjoy athletic competition. I'm into my third year of playing football and wrestling. I enjoy football but I think wrestling is my best sport. My coaches tell me that I am easy to coach. They help me determine a strategy and I executed it to the best of my ability. I am well-liked by my teammates. I'm currently 6'1" and 230 pounds. We have a very good heavyweight wrestler who is one year older than me. To help the team I dropped weight to the 215 pound category. We were very successful last year. I plan on wrestling the same weight this year and then wrestling heavyweight my senior year. I would like to wrestle in college. Academically I think small to medium-sized class-size would help my learning.
